It sounds like the documentation is needed for in-program help
functionality.  As such, it should not go in /usr/share/doc.

http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageReviewGuidelines
- MUST: If a package includes something as %doc, it must not affect the
runtime of the application. To summarize: If it is in %doc, the program
must run properly if it is not present.

So you're okay leaving it in /usr/share/drgeo/help/
